KATHRYN’S APPROACH…
At the heart of Kathryn’s work is a desire to help people feel more at home in their bodies and the world around them.
She brings together clear clinical knowledge, practical guidance and a deeply relational approach to care, honouring both the depth of Chinese medicine and the agency of the people she works with.
Living with a sensitive nervous system and a natural existential curiosity has shaped Kathryn’s own path towards understanding health, finding ease, and navigating a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Through her own experiences and practices, including meditation, yoga, qigong, and philosophy, she has developed a deep interest in the relationship between our bodies, our experiences, and how we live well. This perspective continues to inform her thoughtful, patient-centred approach to Chinese medicine.
Kathryn supports patients through acupuncture for stress and anxiety, menstrual and hormonal health, perimenopause, pregnancy, and gut health and digestion.
By weaving together Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, contemporary research and Western health perspectives, she helps patients make sense of their symptoms, understand their options and find a clear path forward.
After your first appointment, you’ll receive a personalised treatment plan outlining how her care supports your health goals.
Kathryn’s commitment to deepening her clinical knowledge continues through postgraduate training in Chinese Herbal Medicine, her second tertiary qualification in the field, and mentorship with some of Australia’s leading Chinese Medicine practitioners.
